I did not know Gary but am saddened by this none the less None of us knows what is just around the corner Resqiuescat in pace brother Gary

@TR Alternatively, if you are set on serpentine shenanigans, how about a day out fishing with us? You never know what you might catch ! (I even hooked a cow once, 60 miles out in the Indian Ocean, but that's another story) BTW No antidote for Elapid venom, but very docile creatures out...

Just finished a couple of Capstick books (Audio) . In one of them there is a chapter about Black Mamba. Enough to dissuade any sane person from messing with them. Ymmv.

I greatly enjoy a .410 now and again and have had of one sort or another for over 50 years. Light to carry and very effective so long as you appreciate its limitations. (Also as others have mentioned the 16 bore is great and much underrated )

He didn't reply yet. As we are all things Africa here he is dealing with a Rhino in Limpopo living the (my) dream;, God bless him. Buff; This one;

I just sent this to my Son - he is a Vet. I suggested he puts in on the surgery wall :cool:

I haven't but it appeare a few here have (whilst posting)

"Are you familiar with Craig Boddington approved Outfitters?" No. I was answering the op.

The other extreme for SaltwaterFlyFishing would be a #3wt seen here with some Mullet from a tidal estuary in Oman. A Hardy "Uniqua" rod and cheap 'n cheerful Shakespeare reel. Key thing is, whatever gear you get, get out and fish with it!

Useful intel on the "Gold Cup" brand being Bass~Pro. Thanks. I often wondered who made it. Here are Seawolf reels in a bit more detail;

The rod in the first picture has the name "Gold-Cup" on it, it is a #12. I know nothing about the maker, I bought it in a Bass~Pro shop in Vegas in 2011, seen here with a "SeaWolf" reel from a fellow called Justin Aynwal of Chichester England The rod in the second shot is custom made by Tony...

Some great advice in the replies above. My quick observation on Saltwater reels (someone mentioned Saltwater Fly Fishing); I never really appreciated the benefit of a good drag until I got into Saltwater FlyFishing where a sound reel and with a bombproof drag is absolutely vital (Plenty of...

Englishman here. Royal Warrants are of no interest to me and of zero influence. I can honestly say I have never heard a Countryman of mine make reference to them .

Au contraire. Beautifully made but the steel and grind fall well short.

Hopefully you can see the subtle but vital difference. Jagdmesser top, Gamekeeper below. If you look at where the sharpened edge finishes you can see a distinct difference in the grinds. The two blades are frankly Worlds apart

The saw blade on the Victorinox is longer than the Jagdmesser too, much sharper and at a better angle to the handle. The zipper blade on the current Jagdmesser has a rubbish grind when compared to the Puma "Gamekeeper" I posted earlier. Totally different. Also the steel on the Gamekeeper is...

I agree and it is certainly a nice bit of bling. However my Victorinox Hunter XT does all that the Jadgmesser does but it does it so much better. The zipper blade is fantastic, the steel is far better than Puma steel (far far better) and is a fraction of the cost of the Jagdmesser III

I have the more common version with the corkscrew Along with it's little brother;

Nice. You have the rarer version with the awl. I beleive it's purpose was for use when sewing up a carcase to keep it clean when bringing it down a mountain.

I have sharpened the blunt spine and it is great for splitting kindling when camping without buggering up the main edge. Quite a usefull tool in fairness. Readily pressed into service for skinning but not a fine enough point for use as a general Deer knife especially on the smaller deer we have...

I have one and it is great for heavy duty work on dangerous vegetables :A Outta:

Your clarification is appreciated. Thank you

Noted and thank you. No personal reason, I do wonder if that point will ever be reached and what that will take to get there but I pray it never does

But it is not "Just one person" is it. It is the President (and sons) of a Country Smacks of 3rd world despotism. Pretty shabby

"But then again with the UK & Oman being the gauge you are using, it's no wonder you have such a low opinion of rights......." Au contraire but I agree with you on the UK. They have completely abrogated any concept of rights. If we had a robust mechanism to defend them such as the 2 a maybe...

Seems I have kicked over a hornets nest. Maybe I need an explanation of why the 2a is there?

No. I didn't say that at all but appreciate your feedback However you look at it it is a clear abuse of position . Do you think that is acceptable?

2nd Amendment is pointless We learn today that the Attorney General has ruled that not only Trump but also his sons will never again have to have their tax returns audited by the IRS for past, present and future tax returns (and you thought the "autopen" was wrong !) Which means they can...

Add" struggle to put underpants on without falling over" and I agree

If Roe count I sometimes use my 1926 Merkel 8mm

They are quite appropriate in an old drilling. Not so sure they wouldn't add an un~needed "faff" factor to a DG rifle when a quick reload is needed ? I am sure there are faster/better methods for that.

I thought he was going to follow me out but that is as far as he got before flopping down! The pair of us soon went back inside.

When the A/C is on, you want to go out but it is too hot.

The .243 of filleting blades

This as as much as it flexes (under a fair bit of pressure)

Sandvik 14C28N I beleive

Flexible but not as flexible as , say, a Rapala filleting blade

I have what most here would consider a small bore DR. I always fire the front trigger first. I have been shooting sxs double trigger shotguns for over 50 years so moving from front trigger to back trigger it is natural for me. Although with a shotgun if I want the choked barrel first I...

Recently been using this Civivi for fish . Very pleased with it . But the trusty Mora Companion Stainless does fine for fish too;

Muscat 40c

Slight problem with that. My dogs would go "missing" !

Jeez and there's me getting stressed about squirrels and pigeons in my yard! (At least I can shoot them)

Opinel No. 8 Used it daily for over 20 years. Food prep, gutting game and countless other tasks. Got given a new one by my Son last Christmas. Either the blade shape has changed or my old one has had a lot of sharpening!

No . I have just identified a moron . You know nothing about me. You have said a lot about you but are mostly likely unaware of same. But feel free to have the last word.

Thank you. You are most welcome PerH. Glad you enjoyed.

Given this is, in the main a hunting forum, I reiterate my first response to you. "Unnecessary" in this thread. There is a section on this forum for politics and I suggest if you have anything valid to say, which I very much doubt, then that is the place. I am happy to enter any debate with...

So it's "I'm all right jack" eh? As per previous, you really would do well to think before you post dear fellow.

Pity you felt it necessary to make a political point here. Given current events I would have thought coming from where you do you would be better keeping your trap shut.

Hi Ontario Hunter. Thanks for your message and concern. I am in Oman. For reasons I can't go into we are fine here in Muscat. I flew back here on 10th March and am here for another couple of weeks before I have a break, and then will head back here. All good apart from we are just in the...

The cover of the book is attached in post # 1. The Book was produced to celebrate the Jubilee and is 91 years old. The shoot is covered in just a few pages
